Subject:Speedometer Cable

To all you folks that have struggled with the bouncy speedo needle, has anyone found a reliably good replacement cable? I replaced mine with a Van-Cafe version early this year (Gemo brand) and it reduced the bouncing but still there. Just installed a rebuilt speedo head from GoWesty, and have the same bouncing problems (causing my cruise control to be glitchy). I've done all of the tweaking and adjusting I can to little avail. I've seen good reviews of cables from most of the usual suspect vendors, and bad reviews from most as well. Seems a lot of QC issues with most, apparently.

What say you list gurus? Anyone with a tried and true, used to bounce like kangaroo on meth but now stable as a glacier, replacement suggestions?
